"Isn't there the Mainland and Xiangjiang?"

Zhou Ziyi looked unconcerned on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Because, he knows that the other party has a shitty distribution channel in Mainland Xiangjiang!

If there was, it wouldn't be so confusing.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Ziyi's "comfort", the other party's expression did not improve at all.

After his expression suddenly changed, he suddenly said a curse word: "Fuck! I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Last time you asked about copyright, was it because your company had any intention in this regard?"

Ever since he rejected Zhou Ziyi last time, he had always regretted that he shouldn't have refused so simply.

At the same time, he complained a little bit about Zhou Ziyi, complained that Zhou Ziyi was not firm enough, and complained that Zhou Ziyi did not even give him a chance to bargain.

After receiving a call from Zhou Ziyi yesterday, he had been looking forward to Zhou Ziyi proposing to purchase the movie rights again.

Especially after checking the relevant information about the news and confirming that Zhou Ziyi was indeed an industry insider and an artist from a large company like Zhongyi, he became even more open-minded about selling copyrights.

It can be sold, but the reward in his mind is not the mere tens of thousands of yuan in copyright fees, but the opportunity to direct it himself and a share of the movie's box office.

It was with this wishful thinking in mind that he arrived at the meeting place.

As a result, after meeting, Zhou Ziyi talked endlessly about the plot of the novel, but never mentioned the movie copyright, so he took the initiative to bring the topic to the movie.

After listening to the estimates and opinions of Zhou Ziyi, a "professional" person, he even gave up the last thought of making a movie with his own money.

Now, he just wants to embrace the big tree of Zhongyi and let Zhongyi pay to help him realize his dream.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

Facing his question, Zhou Ziyi just smiled: "How is that possible? If the company has intentions, who would it be my turn to tell you? The last phone call was actually my personal intention."

personal?

The other party felt a chill in his heart, but he was still unwilling to ask: "I wonder how Mr. Zhou planned to solve the investment problem at that time?"

"Well, I still have some connections, so it's no problem to get some investment." Zhou Ziyi pretended to be profound.

The other party believed it immediately.

Because from the information he found, there were indeed many reports saying that Zhou Ziyi had a very good background, and that as a newcomer, he stole the role of their Bay Area star Su Youpeng.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about being slapped in the face and said directly: "Can you help me make an introduction? To be honest, I encountered some funding problems while preparing to shoot this movie."

Zhou Ziyi did not continue, but said strangely: "This novel is quite suitable to be adapted into a movie. There should be no shortage of investors, right?"

There is no shortage...it would be strange if there is no shortage!

I searched for three whole years and still couldn't find anyone willing to invest!

Of course, you must not tell Zhou Ziyi about this kind of thing, otherwise how could he deceive you?

"There are some people who want to invest, but they are all locals. I prefer investors from the mainland to invest, so that it will be more convenient for the movie to be released in the mainland."

Then he made another condition: "The last time Mr. Zhou wanted the copyright, he wanted to be the male protagonist of this movie, right? If Mr. Zhou does this for me, then I can guarantee that the role of the male protagonist will be yours."

"oh."

Zhou Ziyi was noncommittal, lowered his head and picked up the coffee to drink.

What he wants is more than just a protagonist.

Moreover, he has a fart relationship now!

As for Zhongyi, where I work, it’s another matter whether they can take a liking to the script. Even if they do, they can’t directly involve Zhongyi.

Because, once the copyright is in the hands of Zhongyi, his position as the male lead may not be guaranteed again.

If you can get the original author first, you can try to manipulate it.

But there is another problem. Once Zhongyi is involved, the idea of ​​Liu Yiqian playing the heroine will be scrapped again.

Although even if Zhongyi is not involved, there is a high probability that Liu Yiqian will not be invited...

With this information in his mind, Zhou Ziyi put down his coffee and said, "Let's talk about your request first. After listening, I will decide whether to help you pass on this message."

The other party hesitated. He actually wanted to talk to the investors in person instead of Zhou Ziyi's conveyance. But looking at Zhou Ziyi's attitude, he also knew that this was unlikely.

So after hesitating for a while, he made his request: "I hope to have all the say in this movie, and investors are not allowed to interfere."

Zhou Ziyi's eyes narrowed, and he almost couldn't help but look at the other person with a retarded look.

But knowing that this was a stage where the price was high and the money was paid on the spot, so in the end I just smiled and said, "Can you be more honest or more specific?"

The other party hesitated for a moment and then said: "I must be responsible for the director's position, editing rights, box office share, and the script!"

Zhou Ziyi stood up directly: "If these are your requirements, then I don't dare to help you spread the word. I don't want to spread the word once and lose a few friends."

As soon as he stood up, the other party was startled, and he quickly pulled him back: "You... please tell me your request first."

"I'm just a messenger, I don't have any requirements." Zhou Ziyi shook his head and smiled.

This is completely consistent with the attitude he showed throughout this meeting.

If you don't want anything, the other party will naturally not be able to wait for the price and will raise the price.

But the other party is different.

After waiting for three years for someone to be taken advantage of, how could you give up so easily?

After all, after passing this village, there is a high probability that this store will not be there.

"I want to hear your thoughts."

"This... okay, I'll just briefly tell you my opinion."

After Zhou Ziyi pretended to think for a while, he sat down again.

"In our industry, the most taboo thing is that laymen command professionals. I think this should be the same in other industries. Therefore, my idea is very simple. Leave professional matters to professionals. Everyone

Everyone performs his or her duties, so that the best work can be created. Don’t you think so?”

The other party fell silent when asked directly.

Because what Zhou Ziyi said was obviously asking him to give up his directorship and editing rights.

The editing rights were okay, but he really didn't want to let go of the director's position, so after a moment of silence, he tentatively said: "I have made a short film before, so I can't be considered a complete amateur."

Zhou Ziyi smiled: "You must also know how important a director is to a work.

Do you think a movie that costs more than 10 million yuan, and may even exceed 20 million yuan with promotion fees, could be handed over to a... novice?

This is impossible for any investor to do!

If you want to be a director, I think you should give up this opportunity and let more professional people make better works. As long as this movie achieves good results, you are still afraid of other works under your name. No one
